Fix it? What's there to fix? Apparently Google has never been working better.

eta: And Michael Moore comes in third in the search, so the righties can feel OK too!

I'm going from past experience. Someone was snipping photos from CNN once and went to save one of Dubya waving or grimacing or one of those other things he can do (oh, right, that's about it, the full list... never mind......)

Anyway - back to my train of thought.... When he went to "Save Picture As", the original pic name popsup as "A**hole1"..... Someone in the photo department must've put it in an archive under that name. It lasted about four hours; we all had a ball over here (I'm in Asia), but most of our US friends didn't see our 'spam' until the next morning and by then CNN had changed the original name.....

Wow squared.

What does that say for the opposing team?

Well, I don't like George but we should not make fun of him while he is doing his very best work this week.

There was a really depressing editorial today that advocated him taking a direct hands on role in the major diplomatic efforts and implementing several ground breaking and bold initiatives in the worst trouble spots. This was apparently a strategy of past US presidents and what the world needs now is direct involvement of the president to make things right.

Ok...
I can't even find it now.

I'm still getting him third. Your Google is clearly broken!

eta: Oops, now he's fourth. Never mind me.

It's called Google bombing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bombing). The search words are supposed to be 'miserable failure.'

[Kopji]

It is the sort of moment when peace and history could be hanging in the balance for a generation to come—the kind of tipping point when American presidents can no longer leave the negotiating to underlings. They must take the world stage themselves to find a new way out, simply because no one else has the globo-oomph to do so. There is a grand American tradition behind this sort of personal involvement of America's chief executive, one that goes back almost precisely a century...

See I wasn't kidding.

4- Tell other people before the people at Google Fix itI think there is little chance that Google will fix it. I think they are rather sympathetic to non-commercial joke-Googlebombs. Using the original search term "miserable failure" you get an article about the phenomenon (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3298443.stm?ls) from 2003. Google hasn't done anything against it yet...

There has been some Googlebomb war between Bushhaters and Bushlovers, with the Bushlovers trying to Googlebomb Michael Moore up top. For a while they were successful, but Michael Moore soon replaced the page with a photo of George W. Bush composed of soldiers' faces.

Damn! I'm enjoying the JREF community.... learning new stuff every day.:eye-poppi I thought this was a quaint accident of their rules... to learn that it's intentional... well, I'm not sure. Should it be filed away under C for 'clever' or G for 'get a life'.

This is old, so it does not work like it once did.


Google (weapons of mass destruction error 404) and hit "I'm feeling lucky"
In the good old days you did not need error 404.

Nice to see that the "Jew" google bomb is still holding

[marksman]

It's been that way for awhile. It's just a function of a lot of people hyperlinking that website to their blogs under the word "failure". It's one of the reasons Michael Moore's website has been steadily rising up the charts too.

Really? Because the antisemitic fraud known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion show up as fifth on a Google search of "Jew"

I think he mean that the first link goes to wikipedia.

However you do not have to go #5 link to get to the nasty, #2 will do just fine.

As of this time it is first (again?), love it, believe it, Hard-copied it!!!
Still love Dogpile for searches - but this is fine indeed.:) :) :)

Beliver me that is a serious improvement on what used to be there when wikipedia wasn't number 1.
